Milo Ventimiglia Goes ‘Static’ in New Supernatural Thriller
As much as I despised “Heroes,” I’m a big fan of actor Milo Ventimiglia, who also starred in Pathology, Rocky Balboa and Anchor Bay’s forthcoming post-apocalyptic thriller The Divide.
Next up he’ll be starring alongside “The L Word’s” Sarah Shahi in Static, a 3D thriller, TheWrap reports. Sara Paxton (The Last House on the Left, Truth or Dare, Shark Night 3D, The Innkeepers) also stars.
Being helmed by music video director Todd Levin, “The movie is about a young couple, played by Ventimiglia and Shahi, on the verge of divorce after losing their child. Their world changes when a young visitor arrives, bringing supernatural implications to the household.”
Static is one of the first low-budget features to be shot in full 3D (if you don’t count Scar 3D). Levin will use a camera rig designed specifically for the producers and director to hold two Sony PMW-F3 cameras — Sony’s answer to the RED 3D camera — and control costs. Movie’s budget is below $1 million.
Levin, and producers Gabriel Cowan, John Suits and Andrew Orci wrote the script. Talk about desperate for credit…

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
